Beit known that I, VILLIAM BUNT1NG,J1'., a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Brookline, in the county of Norfolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Urinals, of which the following, is a specitlcatidn.

This invention relates to an improved ineans for connecting a urinal or water-closet to its discharge-pipe, and more particularly is designed as an improvement on the construction disclosed in the patent to Browning, dated January 22, 1895, No. 532,945. The de- Vice shown in this patent, though possessing some advantages which are of importance, has several objectionable features which have practically precluded its use, some of which are as follows: Owing to the irregularities caused in molding it is impossible to lit the back sido of the quadrant shaped elbow closely` against the wall of the space which is formed therefor in the back side of the urinal, so that there is a space between the elbow and urinal back which is open and may lill up with impurities of various kinds and render the fixture 'unsanitary Although a packing of some sort is supposed to be placed between the bottom or intake end of the elbow and the horizontalshelf portion of the urinal, yet in practice it is impossible to pack this joint in this way, for it cement, putty, or any other suitable packing which is capable of use in this connection were placed on the horizontal portion of the bowl before the parts were connected all of this packing would be scraped oft by the bottom of the elbow as the bowl is pushed in place. l In order to make aproperly-packed jointin the groove, a liberal quantity of the soft packing must be placed therein, and a portion thereof is likely to be squeezed out and run down on the slab to which the urinal is secured, causing the slab to become discolored. If anyleak should occur in this joint, it would drain the trap down to the end of the quadrant-shaped pipe, so that the sewer-gas could pass from the soilpipe out through the leak-hole. These and other defects are corrected by my invention, which consists, in a general way, of a urinal which is provided with an inclined upwardlyprojecting discharge-passage, in the end of which an annular cup is formed between the inner and outer walls. In connection with this construction I provide a correspondinglyinclined metal wall-pipe, which is provided with an end of 'such size as to permit its ready introduction int-o the annular cup, together with means for securing the pipe to the urinal, a suitable packing being placed in said cup before the pipe is placed therein,`so that a perfectly-tight joint is secured.

For a more complete understanding of my invention attention is called to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a central cross-section showing all parts' in position. Figs. 2 and 3 are crosssection's taken'on the lines X X and Y Y, respectively, ofV Fig. 1.

The main bodyof the urinal l is provided with abackwall 2, which is inclined slightly from the top downwardly and merges into the back side of the discharge-pipe 3. This disn charge-passage 3 is bent so as to form a trap 4, and said passage is turnedupwardly at a suitable4 angle toward the slab or wall 5, to which the urinal is connected. A laterallyprojecting annularjflange G extends from a point a short distance below the end of the upwardly-extending passage 3. Said iiange is provided with an annular upwardly-extending portion 6 and da laterally-extending portionV Gb, which terminates at each side in the ribs 7 7', at the rear against the slab 5, and atthe front in the back side of the rear wall 2. An annular cup S is thus formed between the upwardly-projectin g end of said passage 3 andthe flange 6 G The ribs 7 7 extend from the back side of wall 2 to the 4slab 5, so that they completely inclose the discharge-pipe connections with the urinal on both sides and extend upwardly to the fiat surface 7 at the topV of the urinal. These ribs taper in width as they approach the top, so that when their edges are placed iiat against the slab they will hold the urinal at the proper inclination.

The parts of the urinal above referred to are all formed in one solid piece of earthenware. v

A metal wall-pipe 9, having a bellsshaped IOO end which is adapted to t loosely into the annular cup 8, passes through the slab and is connected at its opposite end to the wastepipe l0 in the usual way. The pipe 9 passes through the slab horizontally and has a bend adjacent thereto, and the intake end thereof is inclined at the sameangle as the discharge end of the passage 3. On each side of pipe 9 integral lugs 10 are provided, which project outwardly over iiange 6b. Bolts 11 are secured in said integral lugs by screw-threads or any other convenient means, so that they will not turn therein, and extend downwardly parallel to the intake end of pipe 9, through apertures which are provided in the tiange 6b. The lower ends of said bolts are screwthreaded, and nuts l2 are threaded thereon, so that said pipe and the urinal may be secured together.

In placing the urinal in position the wallpipe is screwed into the end of the soil-pipe, and the annular cup is filled nearly full ofa suitable packing 13. The bell-shaped end of the wall-pipe is then introduced into the annular cup and the whole urinal pushed upwardly and inwardly into its proper position. The bolts ll pass through the holes in the iiange 6l while the urinal is being pushed in place, after which the nuts l2 are screwed onto the ends of the bolts, so that the ribs 7 will be held firmly in place against the slab.

The particular form of connection with the iiushing-pipe is not essential, the form shown being similar to that in theBrownin g patent.

Various advantages possessed by my structure are as follows: There is no opportunity for any matter to collect at any point, as no recess would be caused by irregularities in molding. A perfectly-tight joint is formed between the bowl and wall-pipe, and even if there should be any leakage at this joint the soil-pipe would be sealed by the trap formed by the end of the wall-pipe dipping into the cup, so that there is no possible way in which sewer-gas could escape to the room. This construction is applicable to a watercloset in which it is wished to provide a discharge through the wall instead of the ioor. This form of connection is finished in appearance, as none of the connections for the lower portion of the urinal or the discharge-pipe will be Visible from the front.

Having described my invention, what l claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is as follows:

l. A bowl having a discharge-pipe which is bent to form a trap therein, said tra-p being inclined rearwardly and extending upwardly beyond the bottom of the trap, a flange which extends outwardly from a point below the end ofsaid discharge-pipe, and then upwardly, forming an annular cup around the end portion of said discharge-pipe, a ilange which exv tends laterally from said upwardly-extending iiange, all of said parts being formed integral, a wall-pipe having its lower endarranged in said annular cup and its opposite end connected to the soil-pipe, a suitable packing in said cup, lugs extending from said wall-pipe, bolts connected thereto which pass through said laterally-extending flange and nuts on the lower end of said bolts which engage the under side of said lateral iiange and clamp said wall-pipe to the bowl.

2. A bowl having a discharge-pipe which is bent to form a trap therein, said pipe being inclined rearwardly and extending upwardly from the bottom of the trap, an annular cup formed around the end portion of said pipe, a laterally-extending ilange formed integrally with said pipe, a wall-pipe which has its end located in said cup, bolts carried by said wallpipe which pass through said laterally-extending flange, and nuts which engage the under side of said flange and secure the bowl to the wall-pipe.

3. A bowl having a discharge-pipe which is bent so as to form a trap, the discharge end of said pipe being inclined rearwardly and extending upwardly from the bottom of the trap, an annular cup formed around said discharge end of said pipe, a laterally-extending iiange formed integrally with said pipe, ribs which project from the back of said bowl on each side of said pipe and are adapted to rest against the wall, said laterally -extending flange extending to the back of the bowl, to the wall, and to the said ribs on each side, an inclined wall-pipe which has its inner end located in said cup, a suitable packing in said cup, bolts which are connected to said Wallpipe and pass through said laterally-extending flange, and nuts which'engage the lower end of said bolts.

4. A urinal having a discharge-pipe which extends upwardly from the bottom and is inclined rearwardly from the back thereof, two side walls which extend vupwardly and rearwardly from the back of the urinal to the slab and are arranged on each side of said pipe, an inclined flange which extends laterally from said discharge-pipe to said side walls, to the slab, and to the urinal-back, said pipe, walls, and ange being all formed integral with the bowl, an inclined wall-pipe which is adapted to make a water and gas tight communication with the end of said dischargepipe, bolts which are connected to said wallpipe and pass through said flange, and nuts which are adapted to engage said bolts and the under side of said flange and clamp the bowl to the wall-pipe.

5. A urinal having a discharge-pipe which extends upwardly from the bottom and is inclined rearwardly from the back thereof, two side walls which extendvupwardly and rearwardly from the back of the urinal to the slab, a flan ge which extends laterally from said dis- IIO completely inelose said Wallpipe, and'being formed integrally with the bowl.
